Aim & Scope

The Journal ‘Olba’, being published since 1998 by the ‘Research Center of Cilician Archeology’ of the Mersin University (Turkey), includes original studies on Prehistory, Protohistory, Classical Archaeology, Classical Philology (and ancient languages and cultures), Ancient History, Numismatics and Early Christian Archeology (up till the 7th century AD) of Asia Minor, the Mediterranean and related regions.

Olba is printed once a year in May.      Articles can be sent from 31 August - 31 October each year.

Articles should present new ideas and not only have catalogues or excavation reports as their contents. The articles of archaeological studies undertaken together with other disciplines such as Geophysics, Archaeometry, Anthropology etc should give more emphasis to the Archaeological part of the work as the Journal Olba is an Archaeological journal.
